The Book Challenge-- from Goodreads

Good Reads is one of my favorite sites. Not only do you have a community of book worms to share your favorite books with, but also a large database to find new books to read and an easy way to catalog/record your reading process. Simple put, it's a great site for book lovers. Heck, every time I log in, I discover a new feature. Today (being Sunday although this will be posted on Tuesday) I discovered a book group called 'The Book Challenge.' The originally idea for this group was to verbally comment to reading a self chosen amount of books. A couple of it's members made the challenge a little more difficult-- read 26 authors (or books) each starting with a different letter in a years time. Of course, everyone said it would be difficult to find an author with a name that started with 'X.' But I think it's doable (especially with Chinese names). I think I might start this goal at the beginning of the year.

Yes Man by Danny Wallace

Danny Wallace creates a fun and witty way on presenting his life as a 'Yes Man' for almost a year. When Wallace is told to 'say yes more' from a stranger on a bus, he decides to take the man up on the offer and ends up saying yes to everything until the beginning of the next year. He gets himself in situations that no one would ever want to be in. Very funny, although it did have a lull in the later part of the middle. Overall, great book and I can't wait to read more by him. This is a great read for everyone :)
